Children love to be pranked.
A surprise gift, a joke told at just the right time, or an unexpected visit to the ice cream shop.
Tell your kids the perfume sample from the department store is stink juice. Play it up before you open it, then put some on, all the while acting like it’s the worst smell in the world. Then hug them so they can get a whiff of how pleasant it really is.
They will remember your prank for years to come.
Here are 4 Riddles to Set Your Children on God’s Path.
Riddle No. 1:
What measures one-half, yet is bigger than two?
The answer is a child. When he honors his parents, the Lord gives him double blessings.
Deuteronomy 5:16 says:
“Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.”
Riddle No. 2:
What can you keep but never put in your pocket?
Your parents’ example for how to live.
Proverbs 6:20 says:
“My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.”
Riddle No. 3:
What grows best when you cultivate something else?
God’s pleasure when you grow in obedience to your parents.
Colossians 3:20 says:
“Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.”
Riddle No. 4:
The more you fill it, the more you have left. What is it?
Your life, when you fill it with obedience and honor for your parents.
Ephesians 6:1-3 tells us:
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (this is the first commandment with a promise), that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”
So get out there and prank your kids. Give them some riddles to solve. They will have fun figuring them out, and they will learn to walk on God’s path at the same time.
What we think on is what we learn. Let’s think on Jesus.
